As Chasing Life‘s April begins to accept the impact cancer will have on her future, she’ll find herself reflecting on what life was like before her diagnosis — and it turns out, she has a pretty Devious past.

Tom Irwin, currently seen as the fiendish-yet-lovable Adrian Powell on Lifetime’s Devious Maids, has been tapped to recur as April’s late father Thomas Carver, TVLine has learned exclusively. Irwin will appear in flashbacks beginning in the ABC Family drama’s fifth episode (July 8, 9/8c).

In addition to his current gig on Maids, Irwin’s extensive credits also include roles on Grey’s Anatomy, Lost and My So-Called Life.
